Discovery

"Discovery" is the process of getting information from your spouse, and from other people and companies.

The kind of information that is "discovered" includes:

• Financial documents, such as bank statements, pay stubs, and pension plan documents.
• Personal documents, like letters you may have written to each other, and letters you may have written to others.
• Other documents, such as report cards and medical reports.
• Discovery also includes recording what people say, including teachers, doctors, coaches, friends, and relatives.

Discovery by means of having a lawyer ask questions and having a paid professional note-taker (called a "court reporter") record the answers is called a "deposition."

Discovery by means of asking questions in writing and getting the answers back in writing is called "interrogatories."
